(Takes your Shiva bliss off the mat) 『Love it. As a big fan of the Yoga Shakti DVD practice, this is the perfect way for me to connect with those blissful moments off the mat. I like to play it while doing household chores and sometimes bust into an impromptu Yoga Trance Dance. Helps to garner the life force and prana Shakti whenever we can get it!』
(Great music) 『upbeat, groovy yoga music. keeps the class interested. many students have purchased it for personal listening.』
(My new favorite) 『I own Shiva's DVD "Yoga Shakti" and loved the soundtrack, which is what led me to buy this CD. It's perfect for your home practice (just put the CD in and go) or for just hanging out (I like to play it while cooking). :o)』

That angelic voice shines through...we owe all of her CD's and love them! Matter of fact, my 4 year old daughter signs along as she plays! Thank you Deva and Mitten for your wonderful work...enhancing the daily lives by these soulful songs!』
(Step Into This Opening of the Heart) 『Wow!! Amazon needs to pick someone else for reviewing World Sacred Music ("Jokah Samastha"?). Miten was a little nonplussed, you can be sure. Soul In Wonder is a work that has been nurtured for more than a year; tracks that I thought were great were rewritten and recorded until every word, every note was a pure expression of this truly loving human being. And, at that, these tracks cannot bring to you the beauty of seeing, feeling them as they are performed live.
But, since I'm reviewing, my favorites are Awakening (which brought tears to my eyes the first time I heard it), Lokah Samastha, Inarticulate Speech, Fly High and Through The Eyes of an Angel. I love the entire album; it speaks volumes to me and to my own life. But I have to point out what might appeal to others.
And that being said, please do not be swayed by the Amazon reviewer. Add this CD to your life; it is all about changes and fully embracing what this life gives you. In this case, a beautifully crafted and deeply moving set of songs. Dhanyavaad, Miten-ji.』
(Heart opening perfection!) 『This CD is an absolute delight! The Amazon review seems strangely off the mark - Miten's deep and soulful compositions (and the reverent, personal, heart opening way they're sung) are some of the most lovely I've ever heard and of course Deva's voice is transcendently beautiful throughout. I especially feel gratitude for the penetrating beauty of the song Humaniversal, which I could listen to on repeat forever. . . I love how this music not only melts my heart and my spirit, but also inspires me with a gentle call to action in the world, to remember the places and people we might otherwise forget. . . Miten and Deva got it just right with Soul in Wonder - don't miss this one!』
(Inarticulate Speech) 『As a journalist, there are few times when I am rendered speechless. Listening to Miten, accompanied by his life partner Deva Premal offer up heart wisdom in the form of song and story in the newly released CD "Soul in Wonder", had that impact on me. Now that I have regained my ability to express, it comes through me to say that this CD is a constant companion in my car, I play it in a workshop I offer and the participants clamor to know "Who is that?" and recently in my role as an interfaith minister, I played two of the pieces "Fly High" and "Free Spirit (Ashes to Ashes)" during the memorial service for the father of another minister. All who were present were deeply moved by the music. The Van Morrison song "Inarticulate Speech of the Heart" would be a lovely wedding accompaniment as well. The Sanskrit chants "Twameva" and "Lokah Samasta", familiar to me as a practicing yogini, transport me as if on a magic carpet. "Through the Eyes of An Angel" is Miten's unabashedly sentimental tribute to his beloved Deva whose cloudless sky-blue eyes indeed had me mesmerized when we met back stage at a concert this year. "Fly High" and "Awakening" often have me singing at the top of my lungs, left arm 'breezing' out the window as I drive. The soaring sounds of the Bansuri flute played by Nepalese flautist Manose, add a touch of magic that tickles the ear and the heart.
Deva and Miten are indeed Souls in Wonder, welcoming other Souls to sing along. This CD (and, in truth, all of the others they have created) is a must have for your collection if you are inclined to enjoy music that transcends genre.
Edie Weinstein-Moser』
(A Heart To Heart Transmission) 『Soul In Wonder... ahhhhhhh... a heart to heart transmission full of light and love and nourishment. From Eyes Of An Angel, reflecting the surprise and vulnerability of a heart that knows itself loved and loving, to the haunting tones of Lokah Samasta - an expression of universal compassion (may all beings be happy), to the rocking gospel beat of You Gotta Move, this new CD from Miten and Deva is such a gift.
Miten plays acoustic guitar and the clear tones blend so beautifully with the rich, soothing quality of his voice, Deva's voice in a golden dancing current, and the ever changing moods of Manose's bansuri flute.
I have many favorites, but top of the list is Fly High, an absolutely joyous anthem of liberation for all who have known that space of celebrating being in the world but not of it. Mandolin and flute weave an exquisite dance thru the wonderful chorus of voices - fly, fly high... let the earth touch the sky. Yes!
The CD closes with Free Spirit (Ashes To Ashes), which Miten wrote after a good friend left the body - it leaves me with gentle tears in the eyes and a deep sense of love and silence.
It is music you can listen to again and again and again, music that celebrates the many rainbow colors of the heart, music that indeed shares a sense of wonder as we all journey to oneness. 』 『Miten is an English musician who has been the not-so-silent partner of German chant diva, Deva Premal, since the early 1990s. You always get the sense that he's the music engine behind Premal's recordings. But Miten has released his own albums as well. In fact, under his birth name of Andy Desmond, he even recorded rock albums in the 1970s, including one produced by Dave Davies of The Kinks. OnSoul in Wonder, Miten pairs mysticism with sentimentality in soft-pop meditations. Take away some come-hither, ear-caressing bansuri flute by Manose on spiritual ballads like "Through the Eyes of an Angel," "Humaniversal," and "Awakening," and they could've been sung by '70s soft-rocker Kenny Loggins. Elsewhere, he indulges his '60s roots, covering the blues tune, "You Gotta Move." It's done in a true blues style, but seems like it dropped in from another session across the river. Despite his efforts to bring diversity, the most effective tracks are the elaborate chant arrangements featuring Deva Premal. With her silken voice leading the way, Miten brings a reggae lilt to "Jokah Samasta," while "Calma e Tranguilade" features a chime-dappled flute alap from Manose. But for every "Twameva," an introspective chant over a long-ambient drift of deep echo flute and guitar sustains, there's an "I'd Like to Teach the World to Sing" piece of heartfelt treacle like "Fly High."--John Diliberto』 『Rocking grooves mingle with the wood smoke of India on this warm and mysterious album from Miten, a seasoned artist at the peak of his poetic powers. Singing to our soul, Miten's tales of meditation, acceptance and revelation are enhanced by Deva Premal's divine vocals and the bansuri flute of Manose, along with harmonium, kora, violin, Hammond organ, slide guitar and mandolin.』

IPhone 3G used's review (Flexibility for life) 『I have been using this video for seven years. I wanted to become more flexible as I found at 52 I was stiffening up. I viewed about 10 different videos to find a tape I could stand to watch repeatedly. After seven years, I have never tired of using this tape. I spend each morning before work with this tape and move and think more flexibly because of it. It saved my body and when I've had to go to physical therapy a couple of times they say,"You are very flexible!"I owe it to this tape which I originally found at the library and titled something like Yoga for Flexibility. This is a program that you can do at any age, no matter your body size, sitting in a chair and then a few on the floor and ending with a guided relaxation. These are modified poses to begin acquiring flexibility. If I could only have one Yoga tape for a lifetime, it would be this one. And it is! Enjoy.』
(Are you stiff, painful, not so strong, need good chair work) 『This is an excellent stretch and toning workout for anyone who is sedentary, stiff, needs to sit, has pain anywhere. This workout is done with a chair and some floor work. It is actually the beginning of the practice of yoga in a safe way. I have worked with seniors for years and highly recommend this video to increase flexibility, strength, coordination and comfort.
I personally used Lilias yoga tapes when she was a young woman in the 70's and she still has a nurturing, calming and supportive style of helping you and your body improve in function. My husband and I have enjoy doing the stretches especially when stress causes neck and back pain. After doing 30 minutes, no pain and increased energy for our day! A great gift for yourself and your parents no matter what their age...no matter what their age!』
(Lilias! Yoga for Better Health) 『I have found this video to be wonderful. I suffer from chronic pain in the neck and lower back. Since I've been doing this tape I've noticed increased flexibility and mobility. I would recommend it for anyone with chronic pain.』
(Lupus and Fibromyalgia sufferers) 『I rented this video from the library and now I am buying it. It is very do-able for people with chronic pain. It gives you a gentle stretch and also helps improve your spirits. I love it!!』
(Good for arthritis sufferers) 『I love Lilias' warm, friendly relaxed style. I don't have much flexibilty or mobility due to arthritis, especially in my hips. I feel so rejuvenated after all the stretching and breathing exercises. I have just started yoga, but I have been faithful in practicing. I think after I loosen up, I will be ready for the next level in a few weeks. Thanks, Lilias!』

Yoga For The Young At Heart
Usually ships in 24 hours IPhone 3G used's review (Truly Yoga for Everyone!) 『I have owned this recording (first in VHS which we wore out, now in DVD) for many years. It is the only one of its kind that we all can do without giving up in frustration. I own many others, but have learned that when the routine starts out with the instructor in Lotus position, you might as well give up. And even though Susan Winter Ward is pictured in the Lotus position, there's none of that on the actual video. Her instructions are clear and motivating, her participants are real people who despite their age put my 29-year-old daughter to shame, and the routine is easily adapted to your individual level but still very effective. Never once do you feel like you might as well give up because you'll never get there. This is truly the very best for 'the rest of us'. If you are the typical office dweller and are trying to increase your flexibility and learn to deal with the stresses of daily life, buy this video no matter what your age!!』
(disappointed--) 『I purchased this video based on the all the favorable reviews and, as an older beginner, I am quite disappointed by it. There are no modifications shown for the poses and, although there are older people participating in the class, they are all able to do everything with no problem. This is discouraging. It does not show how to modify the poses using props of any kind. I am still looking for a video that shows more variation.』
(Not just for older folks!) 『This is one of the best yoga videos I've ever used. I originally bought this for my 85 year old mother (I'm 45) and liked it so well I got one for myself. It's a nice, slow, relaxing session that targets virtually every part of the body with nice easy stretching. I would also recommend Kripalu Yoga Dynamic by Stephen Cope. Young at Heart is a much shorter session which is nice when there's not a lot of time. The Kripalu tape is a much longer - about 90 minutes.』
(Great video.) 『I'm new at this and I find this video"do-able". I am not flexibility at all but I hope to improve in time. This video gets you breathing and moving, and I find myself looking forward to this 45 minute workout. It doesn't ask you to do anything crazy. You'll feel better.』
(Great for beginners of any age.) 『My wife and I are in our thirties and have never done yoga of any kind before. Both of us want to gain more flexibility and strength. We envy the the flexibility of some of th seniors in the video regardless thier age. We have tried other yoga videos from our local and library but keep coming back to this one.』 『Yoga for the Young at Heart introduces older adults to accessible yoga. Through yoga, you can create health, strength, flexibility, and a sense of inner serenity.
Especially for seniors and less flexible beginners over 50, these gentle stretching exercises inspire and support increased vitality, strength and flexibility. This "flowing yoga" class links the poses together in a continuous sequence that allows the student to access poses gently and naturally.
An encouraging class of students ranging in age from 45 to 82 will inspire you! In a soothing voice, Susan guides the class with specific directions for moving in and out of the poses, as well as controlled breathing. Relaxing music accompanies the class and sets the mood for this motivational video to inspire beginning yoga students to achieve a stronger body and more peaceful mind.』

(very good instructions, nice workout) 『I have been doing these exercises for the past couple of months and totally love it! the instructions are easy to follow (and very important, especially for breathing). Initially I was doing the whole set of 5 10-minute exrecises (very challenging for beginners). Then I picked 3 - buns and thighs, waist slimmer and total body blast and works just fine. Sometimes I do either buns and thighs or waist slimmer (just for ten minutes) - and it still helps a little to get you in shape.
People who do not know about pilates should learn more before ordering this DVD. I was telling my friend how much I enjoyed it and when she watched the DVD she said she could not believe that the slow movements can get you nice and slim.. so, do not expect aerobics and a lot of jumping from this DVD, you do need to concentrate on your movements and breathing - but it is very effective, and far more efective than simple aerobics. After I am done with the workout, I always feel great and happy!』
(GREAT WORKOUT) 『EXACTLY WHAT I WAS LOOKING FOR. I M GLAD I DIDN'T LISTEN TO THE BAD REVIEWS. GREAT ROUTINE GREAT INSTRUCTIONS EASY TO FOLLOW DON'T GET ME WRONG NOT SO EASY TO DO BUT THAT'S WHAT WAS I LOOKING FOR SOMETHING TO WORK ON SO I CAN PROGRESS MORE INSTEAD OF USING MOST COMMON ROUTINES. I WISH THOUGH SHE WOULD SHOW HOW I CAN BUILD UP STRENGTH OR IN OTHER WORDS MODIFY UNTIL I BUILD STRENGTH FOR SOME OF ROLL UPS CUZ THAT'S WHERE I HAVE TROUBLE MOST.』
(Not my pick on a good pilates workout) 『I would not recommend this to a beginner or anyone else...unless you have done pilates and know the exact form.
The Rapid Results Pilates video is comprised of 5 sections:
1. Super toned buns and thighs 2. Arms and shoulder shaper 3. Waist slimmer 4. Total body blast 5. Slim and sleek stretch
Seeming like an aerobics video performed horizontally on a mat, there was no talk of pilates principles or breathing. A few exercises were too advanced to not include instruction on alignment - which could result in injury for the newcomer.
The second section uses light weights which gives an extra challenge. However, I would never recommend anyone watch a pilates video which utilizes weights but forgoes pilates principles about alignment. Not only will the viewers not gain all that they can out of their workout, but it is dangerous.
In sum: not recommended.

I lost weight and built physical strength following her Pilates techniques for the last 3 years, so I decided to buy the new DVD, 10 Minutes Rapid Results. I was very disappointed with the new DVD. It's not nearly as good as the old one. It's too easy and boring. I don't think it's challenging enough even for a beginner.

(Wonderful, wonderful way to start yoga) 『I most highly recommend this video for any plus size lady (or perhaps those who are out of shape or not flexible) who is curious about yoga. I am plus size and regularly work out, but I have been too intimidated to show up at a yoga studio without some background in it first. The routine in the video will have challenge to it for totally out of shape people, but can be modified to be easier for total beginners. I do this video for relaxation or for a day when I don't want a tough workout. It has given me insight into yoga breathing and basic moves. I only wish there was a follow up video with longer workouts, more challenge and more moves!』
(A Great Place To Start Yoga Practice) 『I'm a plus size gal, and it's intimidating as heck to go to ANY class for exercise.
This video is a great place to start if you want to learn yoga at a relaxing pace.
Don't confuse "relaxing" with "no sweating", because you DO get a work out, but it's gentle to your body.
I'm also happy to report there is a section of the DVD that shows ways to modify the routine if there are parts you cannot physically do. Big big plus there :)
(Week) 『Very week, not good at all. It is almost static, no movement at all. I do not recommend it. Sandra』 『Yoga for plus-sized women? Why not, especially when it's presented clearly, simply, and utterly without condescension, which is the case withJust My Size Yoga. Instructor Megan Garcia, a large woman herself, knows that self-consciousness and limitations due to shape and size keep many would-be yoga practitioners from attending actual classes; hence this 45-minute program designed to introduce new students to yoga's many benefits. Garcia promises that a regular yoga practice will promote not only physical well-being (including energy and flexibility) but also confidence, calm, and what she calls "an inner sense of self"--ambitious goals, to be sure, but also attainable ones. The practice consists of three parts. The warm-up focuses on the breath, along with arm lifts, spinal twists, and such; the "workout" section includes some reasonably demanding poses like Warrior 1 and 2 and downward-facing dog (after demonstrating each pose separately, Garcia repeats them as one continuous, flowing sequence), and "deep relaxation" consists ofsavasana, the so-called "corpse pose." Other elements ofJust My Size Yogainclude a "special tips" section (with suggestions about using a wall, chairs, or other props to modify the poses) and an interview with Garcia. All in all, this is a gentle, easy, yet effective introduction to yoga.--Sam Graham』 『Certified instructor and plus-size model Megan Garcia presents a simple and rewarding introduction to yoga designed for every size and shape.

I enjoyed it very much, and must say that I felt AWESOME afterwards. I had been stressed prior, and I was happy-go-lucky and feeling great by the time this workout was over. It wasn't as challenging as his other two short power yoga workouts (Stamina and Strength) but I very much enjoyed it and will make it a regular in my practice. And I did notice my muscles were weak afterwards even though I didn't think it was super hard, so I think that's good!
